Next week, your friends in podcasting celebrate six years of changing the way people listen to the internet. THIS week, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness welcome their final guest of year six …

The beautiful, talented and genuinely odd Stephanie Erb made her big-screen debut for legendary director Peter Weir in Fearless and has appeared in such films as Starship Troopers, The Ring and Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. Stephanie made her television debut on Star Trek: The Next Generation and has since played recurring roles on such series as Weeds, 24, Freaks and Geeks, Port Charles and True Blood.

She is a frequent contributor to Ethan Dettenmaier’s Combat Radio and will soon be appearing in Dean and Phil’s new movie The Lady Killers.

And what about those rumors that Miss Erb may someday be replacing Phil Leirness as co-host of YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour?

It’s a Chillpak Hollywood Hour first! Your friends in podcasting, Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness, have covered filmmaking from many different angles, but they’ve never done a show all about post-production sound. Until now. Garrard Whatley is a sound design genius and runs the boutique post-production sound facility RocketWerks in Santa Monica, CA. RocketWerks is the best friend independent filmmakers could ever have. And Garrard Whatley is one of the most engaging and fun peeople you could possibly meet. And just in case you think this show won’t be entertaining, Sean Connery drops by at the end to share in the laughs …. This week on YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour!

Philip Newby was an incredibly gifted actor-writer-performer, and the first guest Dean and Phil ever welcomed to Chillpak Hollywood Hour (27 August 2007, episode #17, back when we were still “From the Heart of Hollywood”). Philip killed himself this past week. Phil and Dean share memories of their friend and try to put this deeply felt loss into some sort of perspective.

Always grateful for the feedback from their listeners, Dean and Phil share some thoughts about their film Spectres sent to them by loyal listener Erynn and answer a couple of filmmaking-related questions and The Sicilian. Finally, Dean and Phil go over the Academy Award nominations with a fine-tooth comb.

Dean Haglund, the actor, improv comic and inventor (best known as “Langly,” one of the three computer-hacking geeks on “The X-Files” and their spin-off series “The Lone Gunmen”) engages in thought-provoking, insightful, and irreverent cultural conversation with his co-host and producing partner, independent filmmaker and certified violence prevention specialist Phil Leirness in the production offices of Rational Exuberance. Warning: Dean and Phil's usually hilarious and frequently inspiring discussions are habit-forming, so please, enjoy responsibly!
